After reaching 500+ in attendance, the church had enough people and resources to acquire land and build a building in 2010.  Since then, The Park has expanded its current facilities twice, opened a second location, and started an online venue. Parkway has an average weekly attendance of over 4,000 attendees with a Student Ministry attendance averaging 400+ students per week.
